About me

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY- Archi-Tectonics aims to focus on each project’s “core essence”. We analyze and research programmatic efficiencies, optimize space, innovate its use, collapse functions, all to result in a new design language and space formation. We are interested in the use of hybrid sustainable materials and smart building systems. We emphasize communication with our clients, and cooperate with an experienced, internationally acclaimed, team of consultants and engineers to provide full expertise and to add value to the project. The use of digital design and project management not only increases efficiency and communication in the construction team, but even more ; we facilitate the construction of innovative structures with a new design aesthetic.
